10. Governing Law and Jurisdiction

These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of England and Wales, without regard to its conflict of law provisions. This choice of governing law applies regardless of your country of residence or the location from which you access the Website.

Any legal action or proceeding arising out of or relating to these Terms or your use of the Website shall be brought exclusively in the courts of England and Wales, and you hereby consent to the personal jurisdiction of such courts. You agree that any cause of action arising out of or related to these Terms or the Website must be commenced within one (1) year after the cause of action accrues; otherwise, such cause of action is permanently barred.

Nothing in these Terms shall deprive you of any mandatory consumer protection rights that you may be entitled to under the laws of your country of residence, provided those rights cannot be waived by contract. If you are a consumer based in the European Union, you will benefit from any mandatory provisions of the law of the country in which you are resident.

In the event of any dispute, claim, question, or disagreement arising from or relating to these Terms or your use of the Website, the parties shall first attempt to resolve the dispute informally.

If the dispute cannot be resolved through informal negotiations within the thirty-day period, either party may pursue resolution through the courts of England and Wales as specified in Section 10 of these Terms. Before initiating formal legal proceedings, you agree that you will not file any court action until the thirty-day informal resolution period has expired.

If you are a consumer residing in the European Union, you may also be entitled to submit your complaint to the European Commission's Online Dispute Resolution (ODR) platform, which facilitates the resolution of online disputes between consumers and traders. This does not affect your right to bring proceedings before a competent court.

Both parties agree that any dispute resolution proceedings will be conducted on an individual basis and not in a class, consolidated, or representative action. Each party waives any right to participate in a class action or class-wide arbitration related to claims covered by these Terms.
